This last year, my wife Leslie and I moved to Austin, Texas to plant an incarnational church using the missional community model. We want to experiment with new ways of doing church and discipleship in order to reach young people. We’ve had some early progress making friends and sharing our vision, but we are a long way away from knowing if we’ve succeeded. We’re investing a lot of time and energy and – as I’m sure you can imagine – we really want it to work out.

I believe all of our values are incredibly important to the future of the ECO movement. I do think, however, that there are a few values that are foundational to the success of the rest of them. Leadership Velocity is one of those foundational values that determines our ability to live out the rest of the values. Leadership Velocity states, “We believe identifying and developing gospel-centered leaders is critical for the church, and a great leadership culture is risk-taking, innovative, and organic.”
